Nebicard T

Nebicard T is a combination medication containing Nebivolol and Telmisartan, used for managing high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing strain on the heart, which lowers the risk of heart-related complications like strokes and heart attacks.

Key Benefits

• Effectively lowers blood pressure, reducing cardiovascular risks.
• Prevents heart and kidney damage caused by high blood pressure.
• Combines two mechanisms: Nebivolol (a beta-blocker) to slow the heart rate and Telmisartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) to relax blood vessels.
• Improves overall heart function and reduces workload on the heart.

How to Use

• Take one tablet everyday simultaneously every day.
• Can be taken regardless of food as coordinated by your PCP.
• Do not stop the medication suddenly without consulting a doctor.

Precautions

• Avoid if you have severe liver or kidney disease, low blood pressure, or heart failure.
• Use with caution in diabetic patients, as it may mask low blood sugar symptoms.
• Avoid alcohol, as it can lower blood pressure excessively.
• Regular blood pressure and kidney function monitoring is necessary.

Possible Side Effects

• Common: Dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea.
• Rare but serious: Slow heart rate, severe drop in blood pressure, swelling of the face or limbs.
